Heuchera Coral Bells Amethyst Mist

My first Heuchera (Coral Bells) "Amethyst Mist"
since moving here.
 I didn't buy any last year
 because my garden beds were not
established.  I
previously had "Caramel" at my old house and just
loved it. I thought I would try purple this time.

First iris bud of the season.
I moved the iris all over they place last season
and I'm not sure which one this is.
I guess it will be a surprise.

White By The Gate camellia is in
bloom.

Lupine that I started from seed in the
milk jugs. I just transplanted it to the shade
garden. 

In the foreground are snapdragons that I
started from seed last spring and they came back
this spring. Also notice the "Dwarf Firehouse" nandina. They
never cease to amaze me with their
color.

I put the White Lightin' rose in
the middle of  daylily bed.

White Lightnin' Rose

A wonderful gift from my sister arrived on
my doorstep today. She said she used to have
one in her garden and never has been able to find
another one, until now - online. Thank you to my
sister. She said it is a beautiful white and has
an absolutely heavenly scent. I'm not
sure about the story of the demise of her
first White Lightnin' - but I think it might
have been the doings of her dog.

  It's a rainy, cold day, so I
can't get out to plant it, hopefully
tomorrow.
It came as a bareroot rose. I soaked it
in a bucket of water with a capful of bleach, per
the instructions. Since
it has such a lovely fragrance, it might have
to go by the back patio.
